FLAT TOPS WILDERNESS AREA — Jim Bedwell gazes up from his paddleboard, admiring the dramatic volcanic cliffs rising from Trappers Lake. “This really brings it full circle for me. Natural beauty. A special place. This is what it’s been all about for me,” says the 64-year-old champion of recreation with the Forest Service who retires July 3, after 38 years with the agency. Arthur Carhart, the fledgling Forest Service’s first landscape architect and recreation professional visited Trappers Lake back in 1919.
